  • Thread-topic: spinlock under fork()?

We’re seeing a Safari hang when our plugin has been loaded and run when you go to Preferences and then the Bookmark tab. Safari is loading a nib, and underneath some Safari code there’s a call to “-[NSConcreteTask launch]” followed by a call to fork() followed by spinlocking forever. What spin lock does fork() use and does it share it with other system pieces? Are there any hints as to figuring out what deadlocked?
